Requests for approval to sell alcohol
Certain items available on www.fairfurt.co.uk are age-restricted.
By placing an order for one of these items, you are declaring that you are 18 years of age or over. These items must be used responsibly and appropriately. There are a number of measures in place to confirm that a customer is eligible to purchase an age restricted item. One of these measures is asking customers to provide a name, date of birth and address during checkout or delivery for the purchase of age-restricted products.
Delivery by Royal Mail
Although age-restricted items can't be delivered to a locker or a nominated safe place location, they can be delivered to a Royal Mail Local Collect Post Office / Enquiry Office / Delivery Office, for age verification at collection.
Royal Mail will ask to see a valid photo identification if the recipient appears to be under 25, in line with their UK “Challenge 25” policy upon delivery.
Royal Mail will leave a ‘something for you’ card following any unsuccessful delivery attempt of an age-restricted parcel and will bring it to the nearest post office for collection with an age verification check.
Alternatively, you can use the information on the ‘something for you’ card to contact Royal Mail to arrange a re-delivery.
Photo identification accepted by Royal Mail
- Passport
- A valid driving licence
- NHS or senior citizen bus pass
All information we receive about customers is treated in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
